#FIRSTLOOK: CASA LOMA PRESENTS SUMMER SERIES 2026

Casa Loma’s Summer Series returns for its 10th season, bringing live music to the gardens of Toronto’s landmark castle from June 8 through September 7, 2026, rain or shine. Presented by Liberty Entertainment Group, the milestone season spans all genres of music with a roster of more than 36 original performances, featuring symphonic shows, rock classics, and tribute nights staged weekly in the stunning castle gardens.

“Ten years ago, we had an idea that Casa Loma’s gardens were made for live music. A decade later, there’s still no other stage in Toronto like it — a symphony under the stars with the castle lit up behind you,” said Nick Di Donato, President and CEO of Liberty Entertainment Group.

Attendees are invited to celebrate the Summer Series with a variety of live music themes presented throughout the week:

Mondays: Symphony in the Gardens

At Symphony in the Gardens, under the artistic direction of Maestro Paolo Busato, in the spectacular Glass Pavilion, guests can enjoy stunning views of the city and the beautiful estate gardens while listening to the Casa Loma Symphony Orchestra alongside Sara Papini, tenors Joey Niceforo, Gavin Hope and Rocoo Rupolo, and special guests Cleopatra Williams, Jackie Richardson and more. There will also be themed programming like Sinatra and Friends, Soul Meets Symphony, Broadway to Opera, Movie Nights, Salsa to Samba, 007 – A Bond Night, A Love Song to Italy, and more.

Tuesdays: Rock Symphony

Rock Symphony features Justin Di Donato and Cleopatra Williams as they join Maestro Paolo Busato, the Casa Loma Symphony Orchestra, and a collection of special guest artists, including Karl Wolf, Terence Gowan, and members of the E Street Band, for an electrifying evening of rock and roll, belting out the best from Elton John, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi, and more.

Wednesdays: Tribute Shows

Tribute nights on Wednesdays are lined up with electrifying, timeless favourites honouring legends like ABBA, Bob Marley, Bee Gees, Beatlemania, and the Eagles, all performed with energy, elegance, and the right touch of nostalgia. Anthony Almonte of the E Street Band joins vocalist Anamaria Oramas for an evening of Latin music, with the Oakland Stroke and Glass Tiger in the lineup for an 80s/90s Rewind. Soul in the City is back with a special one-night performance of old school R&B at the iconic Casa Loma. The evening will feature the highly anticipated return of Sean Jones, alongside special guests Aion Clarke, Ava Marie, Wado Brown, and more.
